You will be creating websites in no time.
The most basic website technology
HTML is a markup language that “describes” a webpage. When I say describes I mean that it tells your web browser what to draw and how. This is achieved through tags. Tags are small pieces of code that represent components on screen such as text, button, links, images etc. All websites, in one way or another, end up being HTML code in order for the browser to understand what to draw. HTML is self-explanatory when you look at a piece of code.
As I mentioned I will not teach you HTML in this article but I will show you a couple of examples in order to see how easy it is.
Simple text:
Well, basically you can just type inside the code to produce text. Of course you can do other stuff as well such as have the text formated using <b> bold, <i> italics, <u> underlined, tags
<b>this is bold text</b> which draws as this is bold text
<i>this is italics text</i> which draws like this is italics text
<u>this is underlined text</u> which draws like this is underlined text
Simple button:
HTML handles user input using the <input> tag. There are various types of input tags such as text, image, buttons, etc. In order to create a simple button all you have to do is:
<button>Click Me!</button> like
Your first html page
Now that you know what tags are it is time to create a very simple webpage. Open up your favorite text editor and create a file named hello.html
insert this code:
<html>
<head>
<title>This is my first page</title>
</head>
<body>
<p>this is a paragraph</p>
<p>this is another paragraph</p>
<b>this is bold text</b>
<br>
<a href=”http://www.websitecreationguides.com”>this is a link to my favorite site</a>
<br>
<button>Click Me!</button>
</body>
</html>
Now that you inserted the code, save the file. Open this file with your browser and voila!
I am sure that by now you understand that HTML is really simple. A very good free tutorial for learning HTML can be found in w3schools. I suggest that when you have free time you go there and spend some time to learn the basics of HTML. It will be fun and easy. You will be thankful you did later, as you would have a deeper understanding of the technology, even if you use a tool to create your website.
